Tenuta Santodeno Sangiovese
The winemaking for this complex wine from Romagna follows the traditional method with a long maceration on the skin, daily pump over and 2 delestages (racking). Part of the grapes are harvested late and the vinification takes place separately. The wine is then aged in big French oak casks. It's a complex and intense wine with a ruby red colour. Cherry and violet notes on the nose are enriched by plum, berries and licorice scents, thanks to the partial drying process at the vines. The palate is full, round, spicy and persistent with sweet tannins. Try this with typical regional recipes, such as handmade pasta with meat sauce, roasts, grills and aged cheeses.
Postcards from Italy Organic Montepulciano
Deep ruby with violet hues. Aromas of wild berries, red cherries and delicate notes of crushed herbs. A well-structured palate with integrated tannins makes this a perfect match with anything Italian.
Colpasso Nero d'Avola
Made from Nero d'Avola, a native grape of Sicily. The vineyards that produced this well crafted red are in the Belice area on the western side of the island. A portion of the fruit is treated very carefully during picking and transportation so as not to break the skins. The bunches are than laid out and dried for 30 days. They are then gently destemmed and crushed, and fermentation takes place. This wine is then added back to the normally fermented portion. The combination of two wines provides great intensity, complexity and interest. The wine has an incredibly intense nose featuring black pepper and spices. The palate offers layers and layers of fruit with bursts of dark berry fruit, excellent balance and complexity, with a soft, lingering finish.
Dorio Montepulciano
We searched the region of Abruzzo for a savoury quaffer that's perfect for Tuesday night Italian, and this is it. Bright red fruit with length and depth, rustic (but squeaky clean) with genuine Italian savoury notes and that chalky tannin edge on the finish.
